	My journey was rather troublesome as I have indicated from before. ...We were five days at the Isthmus where we had to sleep every night under the open sky; then we got off the boat and had to ride 12 miles on mules; we had to provide our own food the same as at the Isthmus; but nothing was available to eat except fruits, and these we were told were unhealthy to eat, and ~~the~~ ...~~water to drink but~~ we could help ourselves by drinking river water since there was nothing else. I can assure you I wished myself back at Newburyport and not a day passed when I didn't think about it, but it was too late...		My journey was rather troublesome as I have indicated from before. ...

	San Francisco in itself is not beautiful but will in time become an important city. Wherever one goes, one has to go uphill, since it is located on a mountain; however that matters very little to me. I like it quite well.
